Living Infrastructure Technology
Technology that nurtures nature. The only platform purpose-built for living infrastructure.
Discover Launch DashboardThe Challenge
Advanced substrates and diverse plant selections are now well understood. But irrigation technology for vertical gardens has remained stagnant — the same timers and guesswork used decades ago.
Cloud Grow closes this gap with precision monitoring and intelligent water management, purpose-built for the unique demands of living walls and green facades.
The Platform
Urban green spaces are essential infrastructure — filtering air, managing stormwater, reducing urban heat, and supporting mental health. Yet the technology maintaining these living systems has barely evolved.
Cloud Grow combines real-time environmental sensing with intelligent water management to create a closed-loop care system for living infrastructure. Every wall, facade, and rooftop garden becomes a monitored, responsive ecosystem.
Our platform doesn't just collect data — it translates complex sensor readings into clear actions. Maintenance teams see exactly what each zone needs, when it needs it, and why.
Why Cloud Grow
Real-time substrate moisture, temperature and environmental monitoring catches problems before they become visible. Reduce plant loss and intervention costs.
Precise moisture control at each zone opens the door to species that would otherwise fail. Increase plant diversity and design possibilities across your projects.
Retrofit Cloud Grow technology into existing installations without structural changes. Bring ageing living walls back to peak performance.
Automated data logging for Green Star, NABERS, and WELL certifications. Track water savings and biodiversity metrics with auditable reports.
Deliver precision care through dedicated technology that continuously tracks substrate, water and environmental conditions across distinct zones. Cloud Grow sets a new benchmark for living infrastructure maintenance and performance.

How It Works
Sensors in the substrate feed live data to the NimbusVerde Controller, which streams to the Cloud Grow platform for analysis, alerting, and automated irrigation decisions.
The Experience
Convert complex environmental data into clear, actionable maintenance guidance that any team can follow.
Real-time alerts notify your team the moment conditions move outside optimal ranges — before plants show visible stress. Each zone is monitored independently, so targeted action replaces broad-stroke guesswork.
The platform converts complex sensor data into simple, actionable insights. Maintenance teams see exactly which zones need attention, what kind of intervention is required, and the urgency level — no specialised training needed.
Automated irrigation adjusts watering schedules based on live substrate readings, weather forecasts, and seasonal patterns. The system learns each installation's unique characteristics and continuously refines its approach.
About Cloud Grow
Cloud Grow was born from frustration. Watching beautifully designed living walls decline because the irrigation technology maintaining them hadn't evolved in decades. We set out to build something better.
Our customer success team includes horticultural scientists and technology specialists who understand both the biology of living walls and the engineering of IoT systems. This dual expertise means we don't just build sensors — we build solutions that make sense to the people maintaining these living assets every day.
We believe cities should breathe. That every building has the potential to contribute to a greener, cooler, more liveable urban future. Cloud Grow exists to make that vision technologically practical — turning good intentions into measurable outcomes.
The Team
Our team brings together diverse expertise — from embedded systems engineering and cloud architecture to horticultural science and landscape design. This isn't technology looking for a problem; it's deep domain knowledge expressed through purpose-built tools.
Every team member speaks two languages: technology and horticulture. Our engineers have spent time on-site with maintenance crews. Our horticultural advisors understand data pipelines. This dual fluency is what makes Cloud Grow different — we build tools that work in the real world, not just in the lab.
Coming Soon
Living infrastructure is entering its most transformative decade. Cloud Grow is building the tools to lead that transformation — from predictive analytics to biodiversity measurement and urban cooling quantification.
Machine learning models that predict plant stress weeks before visible symptoms appear.
By correlating historical sensor data with maintenance outcomes across hundreds of installations, our models learn the early warning signatures of common failure modes — root rot, nutrient deficiency, heat stress — and flag them while intervention is still straightforward and inexpensive.
Modules to track and optimise biodiversity outcomes across your living infrastructure portfolio.
Biodiversity is increasingly a regulatory requirement, not just a nice-to-have. Our upcoming modules will track species presence, pollinator activity, and habitat quality metrics — giving building owners auditable evidence of their green infrastructure's ecological contribution.
Assessment tools quantifying the cooling contribution of your living walls to surrounding microclimates.
Urban heat islands are a growing public health concern. Our sensors already measure ambient temperature at multiple heights — the cooling impact module will model how each installation contributes to local temperature reduction, translating raw data into carbon-equivalent savings and NABERS-compatible reporting.
